Tech Oriented Gifts for ~$50?

Can you guys come up with some ideas for an XMas gift for a tech savy guy which is on/around $50?

This can range from hardware, peripherals, software, etc.

He currently has:

Intel motherboard
Slot1 P3 933 mhz
384 RDRAM (Yes, I said Rambus ram w/ a P3 motherboard).
Kyro2 Graphics Card (He only plays CS)
etc.
 
Hmm. Well, there's:

- TV Tuner
- Webcam
- A nice Lite-on Burner can be found online for ~$50
- DVD drive
- A foxy optical mouse, or a wireless mouse/keyboard set
- pr0n 😉
 
Definitely get a nice CD-RW writer if he doesn't already have one. If he does, then a new video card might gain him some extra performance. A Radeon 7500 or a GeForce4MX 440 64MB are both around $50.
 
i definetly vote wireless mouse or new vid card. that is if he LANs at all.. or get him off the CS gig.. pick him up a copy of UT 2k3..

p.s. not saying CS is a bad game AT ALL 🙂 just looking for a little bit of variety😉
 
He already has a 40x CD-RW and loads of CD-Rs. He also has an optical mouse he's satisfied with. Hmmmm...that wireless keyboard sounds interesting.
